Poal: King of Condiments?

[DigDog]

Wow have we got some weirdos here !

The undisputed king of condiments is obviously Ketchup; less obviously, Jufran banana ketchup (hot).

A Ketchup without tomato!, you say?

Is it sweet? I'm tired of everything having to be sweet.

What is wrong with horseradish? Or even mushroom ketchup?

... i'm gonna say YES, but not "this has sugar in it" sweet like your typical no-brand ketchup. More like "it's made of fruit" sweet.

Let's just say, this thing humiliates ketchup - if you have ever tolerated ketchup on, say, a chicken burger, you owe it to yourself to try it just once.

Mushroom ketchup (the original thing that ketchup was made with) can only be found in super-expensive artisan brands and thats why ive never even tasted it - so i cant say.



Horseradish iz 2stronk.

I'm not saying ketchup/catsup is the best but it is the king.

wtf man, is your throat lined with lead? El Yukateco red isn't mild....you're trying to compare it to Texas Pete? lol.

I said "somewhat mild" ... which I believe to be pretty accurate for a hot sauce with only 5-6K scoville.

Given that the condiment is only like a small fraction of the total mass of the food, it gets very diluted, thus, why I usually use slightly hotter stuff.
I'm not crazy though, I don't eat Carolina Reapers straight up like these absolutely amazing human beings!

This stuff is also awesome. It's not that hot, but great for drowning fajitas and stuff.

 

[whm1974]

So what is the best Horseradish?

So what is the best Horseradish?

the straight up stuff; not the creamy stuff. I have a jar in my fridge that I put on roastbeef and burgers and whatnot. Goes good when making homemade burgers (beef or turkey) by mixing it in the meat.

 

[Iron Woode]

not on the list is chili sauce.

Homemade chili sauce is a great option to ketchup. Loads of recipes out there for it.

This one is pretty simple but I omit the hot pepper because I like it on the sweet side.

Mayo is goblin cum and should never be ingested in civilized society.

That's Miracle Whip.

That's Miracle Whip.

You're right, sorry. Mayo is hobgoblin ejaculate.

 

[Iron Woode]

while not strictly a mayo, I love using Sandwich Spread on my sandwiches and burgers.

 

[Mayne]

I love sandwich spread and miracle whip...so good.

bleh....

 

[Mayne]

bleh....

why is it bleh? I'm funny when it comes to things tasting tangy instead of bleh.

 

[zinfamous]

That's Miracle Whip.

It's all the same.

Hot sauce of course

What kind of hot sauce? I like a nice HOT salsa for most things, but ketchup for hamburger, Heinz 57 for steak, Sriracha for asian style foods.

If I could have only one, it would be Tabasco. It has the most versatility. Otherwise, I always have a decent selection to choose from. If I could have only four, it would Tropical Pepper Co 4x habanero, Tabasco, El Yucateco green, and probably Tropical Pepper Co ghost chili or scorpion sauce for something really hot.

For your list above, the burger gets El Yucateco, the steak and Asian get Tabasco, and sriracha can go fuck itself. I think Americans are obsessed with sriracha because it's sweet as shit. It's a third rate sauce that has few uses. I'll use it sometimes if it's the only choice, and it isn't too bad on a burger, especially if you're comparing it to ketchup(which isn't bad comparison, since it's basically a better ketchup), but not worth the shelf space at my house.

I'm not a big fan of sriracha. It's good but you really need to put a lot of it on/in whatever you're eating, and it quickly becomes nauseating. Cholulu is far better.

Meh, if you like Cholula you should try Tapatio.

 

[Carson Dyle]

Cholula > Tapatio. It's not even close.
